The last week or so when i get up to go to PT, its around 0600 and the temp has been around 50*. I start my '01 4x4, manuel, 3.0 with 109,175 miles on it, and the check gauge light pops on and the oil pressure needle is still down. Once it has been running for a few mins the oil pressure needle jumps to its normal position and the check gauge light goes out. It seems to be takeing a little more time each morning for the needle to go to its normal positon. Currently I'm running the recomended Fram filter and Castol 10-30 synthetic oil. I have about 3,000 miles since the last oil change and the oil is slightly brown but nothing to horrible. I'm concerned since the motor is running each morning without any indicated oil being pushed through. Any thoughts as to whats going on, or what I can do to fix it?
TIA
